Halloween Greetings :)

And then Graphic 45 came out with their September challenge which was to upcycle a household item and turn it into an Autumn or Halloween theme :)

So I decided to play along with both :)

I had these children's wooden play blocks from an antique store :)

And I also had these Styrofoam pumpkins in a mason jar that I also found at an antique store :)

And here is what I made with them!!!! :)

Besides the blocks and the pumpkins, I created a base using a piece of Styrofoam that I painted and then added burlap on top of it ... then I covered the blocks with G45 papers (Happy Haunting collection) and then decorated my little Halloween scene with more G45 Happy Haunting papers and chipboard pieces :)

And here is the back ... so you see how I stacked the blocks :)

Soooooooo I hope you all like it ... cause if it makes it through Graphic 45's contest ... they will be adding my project to their Facebook page ... and I will be begging for VOTES!! *wink* :)

Ok second try at commenting, the first got came up an error. I just love how creative you are and the fence around the pumpkins is my favorite touch! I'm also loving your page, you know that my thing is LO's and I love how you put so many fun elements on your pages. I could learn from you:) ~Kim

Oh my goodness! that G45 Halloween creation is amazing! I can't believe you created that out of some blocks and pumpkins! Let me know how to vote for you cos I'm doing it!Love the lo too - so bright and cheery.

Eeeeek! How fabulous! How creative! How stinkin' cute! Love, love, love your Halloween creation, Julie! You will totally be getting my vote. And LOVE your layout, too. You are so good with the patterned papers. Really love all the prints you combined. Fun use of the crocheted hearts and feathers, too!

Wow! The Halloween decor piece is amazing! I love the patterned block base and the pop of orange from the little pumpkins. Fabulous work!

The layout is so bright and fun. I'm loving the stitching and the feathers!

I also wanted to leave you some extra thanks for taking the time to comment so much on my blog! I recently moved and have not had a consistent internet connection for several weeks. I knew that my blog was doing fine with my scheduled posts when I would get an email notification with your comment on my projects in the morning. :) You comments are definitely appreciated and offered me some peace of mind during my hectic move!

Remembering Aleida :)

I am dedicated to carry her tradition on :)

Get in the photos my friends.....

"There is a reason why I'm posting these pictures. Pictures that I'm actually in. Not because I think I'm all that and a trip to Hollywood. No. It's because I'm actually tired of being worried about how I look and not taking or having very many photos of me with my children. I have very few pictures of me and my babies when they were babies, and I have myself to blame. Precious opportunities to capture on paper, lost because of my silliness. Well no more I say! One day I won't be here and there will be hardly any pictures of them and their mama. So ladies, hand over the camera and get in those photos! Please. You'll be happier you did."

Get in those photos my friends... Aleida changed my life forever.....
